ABOUT TAOD

a little backstory...

I STARTED THEARTSOFDANI

Not knowing what specialty of art I wanted to focus on, so I chose an ambiguous brand name. This ensured I'd be able to focus on, sell, and teach various types of art and design without feeling locked into one specific niche.

My name is Danielle Simpson, but professionally I go by Dani. I am a multi-disciplinary artist based out of central Delaware. I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from the University of Delaware in 2024. During my schooling, I focused heavily on many forms of art and design, including but not limited to: painting, drawing, typography, sculpture, pottery, illustration, storytelling, and photography.

Over the last few years, TheArtsOfDani has grown by specializing in machine embroidery in it's many forms. I have sold and shipped hundreds of customs throughout the United States and several international countries. I have completed bulk orders for sizeable teams, one off customs for professional athletes and their families, and appeared at several past vendor events and community affairs.

My business has been featured in Delaware Today Magazine, as well as appearing in it's own segment on Fox 29 Good Day Philadelphia where I talked about my business and showed other work.

Since late 2025, I have expanded my embroidery talents into teaching and instructing others on different, unique and functional techniques on learning and enhancing their embroidery designs and business.

Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about TAOD, I look forward to working with you!
